Meagher county is now locating roads
in Sand coules, from the extreme head to
the Choteau county line. Application is
now going to be made to the Choteau
county commissioners to locate a road
from the terminal point OF the Meagher
county road to Great Falls. This propos-
ed road is the one on which all our coal
supplies are hauled, and is now in bad
condition at many places. It is highly es-
sential too, that the road be located now,
as next spring the ranchmen in Sand con-
lee will be fencing and it might result in
increased expense to the county.

New York World. ]

The body Of Thomas GRAY, seven years
old, was found last evening In The boX.selt
Of an ice-cart at the foot OF ClarksOn street.
The boy had been dead for some time when
an ambulance surgeon from 81. Flncents
Hospital viewed the body. How the child
came 10 get into the place Is not known,
but 1t Is supposed that, as the body was
devoid OF clothing except an undershlrt,

while the twelye-year-old daughter, the
eldest Of the family, went to another school.
The other two children, mere infants, were
left with a ncighbOr, while Mrs. Gray went
out 10 work. At noon the two eldest chill
dren came home for their dinner, but
Tommy failed 10 make his appearance.
The lad having played truGnt on several
occasions before, the mother did not feel
any alarm, but when be did not

neighboiS and they began TO search for the
child. Meanwhile number OF bows had
been plying hide.and.gO. in GARRISON
street, Ia the vicinity Of West street, where
there are plumber OF trucks and ice.clrts.
One OF the boys, named Johnny Lawless,
aged eight years, living at No. 300 west
Houston street, opened the lid OF the box
of one Of these ice-wagOns, in quest OF q
hiding place, when he found little Johnny
Gray lying inside. apparently asleep. He
tried TO rouse him, and. falling, called to
another boy, named Thomas Keegan, and
they told Sergeant John A. Croker, OF the
Charles. street station.
The Sergeant saw at once that the boy
lance, but the surgeon SAID that life had
been cX'inct for some time, although the
